Things We Saw Today: People’s 25 Women Changing the World by Doing What Everyone Said They Couldn’t

This week’s People Magazine honors 25 Women Changing the World, including some of our fave celebrities like Gal Gadot, America Fererra, and Pink, as well as some badass women who are less well-known, but world-changing regardless, like ER nurse Kelly Lynch, Marine pilot Major Khadijah M. Nashagh, Southern California firefighter Lovie Jung, ER pediatrician Dr. Liza Kearl, and Air Force Capt. Staci Rouse. Check out the video above featuring some of these women talking about the things that people told them they couldn’t do (until, of course, they did it).

• This cast for The Lion King 2019 is enough to get me really, really excited. Donald Glover as Simba! Beyoncé as Nala! EEEK! (via Beyoncé’s Facebook page)
• In addition to Michelle Obama, the Obama Foundation Summit featured young people and leaders from all over the world. One of the guests was the U.K.’s Prince Harry, who spoke about his mother, Princess Diana, as his greatest inspiration.
• So, apparently, Jared Leto denies ever having been a part of Brett Ratner’s Hugh Hefner biopic? You know things are bad when Jared Leto wants nothing to do with you… (via People)
